Celtic: 41 G/A Postecoglou target compared to Moussa Dembele

If Celtic sign Bristol City striker Antoine Semenyo this summer, then it would be ‘a good piece of business’, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

The Hoops have successfully raided the English Football League for several exciting young stars in the past and could go down a similar path by targeting the 22-year-old over the coming months.

In recent times, the likes of Matt O’Riley, Liam Shaw and Osaze Urhoghide have all arrived from the EFL with mixed success as Celtic continue to search for undiscovered gems.

And they certainly found one in Dembele, who joined the Glasgow giants from Fulham back in July 2016 following the expiration of his contract in west London.

The former France Under-21 international established himself as a firm fans’ favourite at Celtic, registering 51 goals and 18 assists in 94 appearances for the club as they won eight major trophies during his time with them.

However, despite Ange Postecoglou’s charges reclaiming their Scottish Premiership crown last term, they could arguably do with some extra firepower in the final third of the pitch.

Albian Ajeti looks destined for the exit door, and long-term target Semenyo, who has been described previously as “dangerous”, could be the ideal candidate to replace him, following in Dembele’s footsteps.

When asked if Semenyo could replicate Dembele’s success at Celtic, O’Rourke stated that that’s ‘up for debate’ but did reveal that he thinks the 22-year-old could be an astute acquisition.
